@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I don't mind spending some time
Just hanging here with you
'Cause I don't find
Too many guys
That treat me like you do
Those other guys
They wanna take me for a ride
But when I walk, they talk is suicide
Some people never get beyond their stupid pride
But you can see the real me inside
And I'm satisfied
Oh no, oh
Even though the gods are crazy
Even though the stars are blind
If you show me real love, baby
I'll show you mine
I can make it nice or naughty
Be the devil and angel, too
Got a heart and soul and body
Let's see what this love can do
Maybe I'm perfect for you
I could be your confidante
Just one of your girlfriends
But I know that's not what you want
If tomorrow, the world ends
Why shouldn't we be with
The one we really love?
Now tell me, who have you been dreaming of?
I and I alone
Oh no, oh
Even though the gods are crazy
Even though the stars are blind
If you show me real love, baby
I'll show you mine
I can make it nice or naughty
Be the devil and angel, too
Got a heart and soul and body
Let's see what this love can do
Maybe I'm perfect for you
Excuse me for feeling
This moment is critical
And might be we feeling
We could get physical
Oh no, no, no
Even though the gods are crazy
Even though the stars are blind
If you show me real love baby
I'll show you mine
I can make it nice or naughty
Be the devil and angel, too
Got a heart and soul and body
Let's see what this love can do
Let's see what love can do
Maybe I'm perfect for you
Maybe I'm perfect for you
Maybe I'm perfect for you
Even though the gods are crazy
Even though the stars are blind
Even though the gods are crazy
Even though the stars are blind
Just hanging here with you
'Cause I don't find

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I was never really a fan of Paris (I didn't hate her either), and when I heard she was coming out with an album, I actually laughed and said "OMG, can you believe that?" And then, I sampled her music for the first time, and I LOVE IT! I don't care if that's not her voice or is she is a hoe. This song is good. And it's going on my Playlist.
